THE sentence of Southport man James Paul Proctor for child sex offences has been adjourned again.

60-year-old Proctor, of Delamere Road, Ainsdale, was due for sentence today (Friday) but Judge David Harris, QC, further adjourned the case.

Proctor was convicted by a Liverpool Crown Court jury earlier this year of nine offences involving indecently assaulting a young girl.

Judge Harris said today that he wanted further information about psychological assessments on Proctor and adjourned the case so experts from both the prosecution and defence can attend to give evidence.

Proctor, who denied the offences which happened more than a decade ago, was further remanded in custody until July 16.
